Honda CB400 Motorcycle - Street (1975-1978)

The Honda CB400F, also known as the "Super Sport 400" or "400 Four," was a popular motorcycle produced from 1975 to 1978. Positioned as a sportier evolution of the CB350F, it featured a distinctive café racer-like styling with a four-into-one exhaust system. Powering this model was an air-cooled, 408cc SOHC inline-four engine, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Most sources indicate a power output of 37 hp (28 kW) at 8,500 rpm. The 1978 models carried over the specifications of the 1977 variant. Throughout its production from 1975 to 1978, the CB400F saw minor year-to-year updates rather than significant generation changes. These updates were often designated as F, F1, and F2 variants. For instance, early 1975 models had passenger footpegs on the swingarm, later moved to the subframe, and a fuel filler cap lock was added. The 1976 F1 variant, mainly for North America, featured higher handlebars and black side panels. The 1977 F2 model further refined ergonomics with higher bars and repositioned footrests, alongside a restyled fuel tank and updated decals. These were incremental improvements, not major platform overhauls. FAQ:
